From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KYTY is a Christian radio station based in San Antonio, Texas and broadcast on 810 AM.
The KSJL calls originated on 760 AM. It's formats on 760 AM included "Spirit of 76" and The "Z-rock" SMN Network. While at 760 it was also part of a simulcast with sister station KSAQ 96.1 as "Super Q, Q96.1" In 1993 the calls moved to 96.1 FM. KSJL-FM became an Urban Contemporary formatted station serving the African American community of San Antonio. It was billed as "Your Station" (as in "The People's Station"), and was owned by Inner City Broadcasting Corporation; by sheer coincidence, ICBC founder Percy Sutton was a native of San Antonio. That was until 1998 when it was sold to Clear Channel. KSJL-FM was moved, to make way for KXXM, to lower power rimshot 92.5 FM with a simulcast on 810 AM. KSJL-AM/FM refined the Urban format to be more Urban Adult when Hip Hop station KBBT debuted in 2000. KSJL aired some sports event broadcasts that did not fit on the schedules of sister stations WOAI and KTKR.In 2004 the stations were split and 92.5 FM became KHTY, Hip Hop and R&B, while 810 AM continued the Adult Urban format. KSJL 810 AM ceased broadcasting March 1, 2007 and became "Star 810AM" when the LMA that Clear Channel Communications operated it under with Maranatha Broadcasting ended and Maranatha flipped it to Christian Contemporary. The new calls at 810 AM are KYTY. KSJL's audience, mostly African Americans, were upset by the format change as this was the only outlet to information in the Black community.
